Patriots waive two to cut roster to 87

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(8/21/2014)The Patriots have released defensive tackle Marcus Forston and tight end D.J. Williams . Forston played in three games with the team a year ago before being relegated to inactive status, then getting waived. Williams played in one game in 2013 and didn't record a catch.

A five-year vet, Hoomanawanui is a 6-4, 260-pounder who "runs good routes over the middle but does not have the long speed to threaten a defense vertically down the seam," the paper said. He has caught 20 of 26 targets over the past two seasons, with one drop.

Ta'ufo'ou hauled in one pass for 5 yards. Ebert saw two targets but failed to make a catch. The others all saw just one target from quarterbacks Chad Henne and Blaine Gabbert. The Jaguars play at Denver Week 6.
